Historical fiction, martial arts and romance unite in this epic story of intrigue, good and evil, ancient prophecies and justice. Searching for their father, teenage siblings Cage and Mia find his ancient artifacts and are transported from present-day Seattle to the Forbidden City of medieval China, where they are captured by the fourteen-year-old Ming emperor. Cage uses his wits and years of martial arts training to save the Emperor, give life to ancient statues, and raise the dead, while Mia evades conspirators and gains favor with the Empress and invading Prince. But their actions have opened a window of evil, and they must solve the riddle of life and death before time runs out.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Sarah Gerdes

While in the corporate world, I went on bed rest and wrote my first book, and eventually, my hobby became a profession. My books are considered clean but sexy, fast-paced but not overly stressful. Whether it's fiction or non-fiction, I focus on themes of optimism, self-reliance, hope and perseverance. I'm a big believer in happy endings. The rest of my life is captured on Instagram, replete with chickens, a moose here and there and lots of travel which serve as the inspiration for my books. You can support my work through donations or Pre-orders available through Smashwords, Barnes & Nobles + others. I typically post the first 10 chapters or 20% of a forthcoming book on my website ~ Sarahgerdes.com. Thanks for visiting!
